2. - At the same time (after the completion of week 12), had the season ended then, what two other teams - each with an 8-3 record at that time - would have had a first round bye?
1. The conference leaders were the Giants (lost to Cleveland on MNF), and the Titans (who lost that week to the Jets).
2. Good question about the byes. I know the Jets were 8-3 then, as was Pittsburgh (I think?), but I believe the Jets would have gotten the bye at the time. And I remember that Carolina was 9-3 going into their MNF showdown against Tampa Bay, so I'll say that they had the two seed in Week 12 (which of course they kept at the end of the season).

Now it's time to see if I was right about #2...
Well number one was easy enough with the Giants and Titans.
The second...I am not sure if the Jets ever had home field, I think they got as high as #3 but not #2. I would say it was Pittsburgh in the AFC. In the NFC I remember Carolina going on quite a run at the end of the season and put Tampa away right around week 12 or 13.

Answers:
1. - All were correct, Titans and Giants were 10-1 at that time.
2. - When I originally wrote the question, it was based on some incorrect information. I was under the impression that two teams that ended up missing the playoffs (Jets and Bucs) were the #2 seed then, which is why I included the question. The two teams were actually the Steelers and Bucs.
Tampa Bay had the same 8-3 record as Carolina but held the first tiebreaker (head-to-head) in the NFC due to a week six victory over the Panthers. Two weeks later they lost to Carolina, and did not win another game after that.
The #2 AFC seed at the time was Pittsburgh, not the Jets. They had both a better conference record and a better record against common opponents - the difference being the Chargers defeating the Jets 48-29 in week 3 but losing to the Steelers 11-10 in week 11.

I see where you were going with that. I do enjoy trying to break these down now that PFS has set in (Post Football Syndrome) thank god for the combine in a couple of weeks fallowed by FA.
1. In this past NFL's post-season, Kurt Warner ranked first with 1147 passing yards.
Who was second in yards passing in the post-season?
2. In this past NFL's post-season, Larry Fitzgerald ranked first with 546 receiving yards.
Who was second in receiving yardage in the post-season?
3. In this past NFL's post-season, who had the most yards rushing?
1. Big Ben comes to mind where he played in the SB as well but had a bye week. I would have to say Mr. Eagle himself....to bad they still want this guy out of town
2. I do know that he passed Jerry Rice but again I might look at the Phily but other then Westbrooks long catch and run and action Jackson with some nice long ones I would have to say D. Mason who was outstanding using one shoulder.
3. Willy P had a great start but not much after and the Ravens shut him down. I would have to say EJ who found his way when the playoff started.

Answers:
1. Donovan McNabb was 2nd to with 892 yards; Ben Roethlisberger was next with 692.
2. Fitzgerald actually had more than the next two combined. Santonio Holmes was 2nd with 226 yards, followed closely by Kevin Curtis (211), DeSean Jackson (207) and Anquan Boldin (190).
3. Willie Parker's 246 yards was first, just ten yards ahead of Edgerrin James.

Matt Cassel led the Pats in passing yardage for the first time, with 3693 yards. If he is traded - or even if he's not - 2008 could be the only time he leads the Pats in passing yardage.
Who was the last Pats QB to lead the team in passing yardage only once?

Man that is a hard one....I do know that we had Plunkett, Grogan and then Eason for at least a 20 year span. I do remember my favorite player ever in the CFL Doug Flutie had to have led the Pats in passing for one season....so that is my final answer Doug Flutie. I remember Hugh Millen having a great season...but I though he was the starter for 2 or 3 seasons....so he is my back-up pick.
